Nix vs Yarraside, Sunday 5pm, RoF

HUGE chance for Pavlova

Dont check and cut back Pav..keep running for FFS

If only Pav had pulled the trigger slightly earlier.

Oooooh naughty Paston.

dodged a bullet there with pasty

Jesus

Happy to get away with the draw

Who gives a crap about the record - we played poor

phew

Stupid, lucky paston

Ladies and gentlemen, four words about that game: GOT OUT OF JAIL.

Well done Pasty for riding the laws of the game right to their limit. I bet Vuko would have played it safe and given away the goal. Fantastic work from Leo, and later from Pav.

Don't know if Pav is the solution up front...but Big Mac isn't and Greenie on his own isn't much of an idea either...

another two points lost.  We are playing like a team of part timers

Another afternoon of total frustration. I thought that second half might be season-defining but we just continue to stagger on without direction.

Nah, we deserved the draw. But it was dissappointing tho.

Draw will do.Didnt hurt last year.

was my coverage distorted for this game too?

very average game well done to Leo had a great game happy to keep the undefeated streak going tho

We finally get 100% out of Leo and RH pulls him off

Thought it was a great escape act...!

Ifills lack of single handedly winning games for us as per our game plan is starting to be a bit of a worry- Leo was dynamite at the start of the second half.

So the game in Palmy not considered a home game by FFA?

Yes it is. It is a bit of a Clayton's record as they're all saying undefeated at the 1 venue.... Its a pretty good unbeaten run [admittedly] but a nothing record really.

We are now bitches for Perth, GCU, and the Heart.  Soon no teams will fear playing us

"Get away with the draw.  We are the home team FFS our team is playing poorly and havent looked convincing at all this season

Credit to Ricky for making half time changes

Did anyone see the crowd number?

5,200

What's with New Zealand football and being so excited about being undefeated if most of the games are draws? We didn't need to give away that stupid penalty early on. Ifill played much better today, but when the ball goes past him he just stands still and puts his hands on his head, needs to chase the ball a bit more. Pav injected more than Lindsay Lohan on a Saturday night, easily ahead of Big Mac in the pecking order. Would even like to see him start along side Greenie with Ifill behind them or in Hearfields position. One thing I've learnt in the past two weeks is that Jeremy Brockie is miles ahead of Hearfield, and would easily start for us.Luis Garcia2010-10-17 19:35:49

Well you can stick 3-4-3 right up your arse that was a sh*te 1st half, we were much better once we went back to 4-4-2
So glad for the draw we were our own worst enemy at times
But we have the record so stoked with that

It was bucketing down in the hours leading up to the game - I was surprised we managed 5k.

yikes. that must be some serious bad weather.

Agree with most of these. RE number 3. I'd keep Brown and Ward, but Daniel and Lia make good squad players. Goodbye Diego and Toto.

Great strike from Bertos but he really needs to get confidence and shoot more!

was it a pen? hard to tell from the zone

heffernan (dirty bastard from way back) was obviously gonna chop Leo - should have been at least a yellow

would a decent ref have given their handball at about 35 mins??

ok moving on from the ref

it was nice when Ricki remembered that Leo is a winger at half time (Leo looked really unsure about getting forward as a wing back)

Pav might come good - fitness and/or confidence might need work if that late shot is an indicator

I didn't see Ward as a liability (but his subbing might have been to do with defensive cover in a 4-4-2)

Now we can stop thinking about that bloody record and trade some draws for wins and losses 3 and zero is more use than 1 and 1 though I'd be ok with 3 and 3 !

Clear penalty, no contact with the ball at all. Not a lot in handball, may have come off the chest.

Do you guys reckon the ball hit Paston's arm as he ran out of the area late in the game?

No complaints about the pen, except it didn't need to happen
Agree he should have seen yellow
And no i didn't see any evidence of the alleged hand ball

From today three friendly Hearts fans.

Came straight off his shoulder/upper arm, was very lucky to get away with it
